Went to see Palestine 36 today.

Worth your time.
Palestine 36 is an absolute MUST watch in order to get a deeper understanding of the failure of colonialism and the UK support towards Zionism. @film.curzon.com @curzon.com

🤔Why is Thames Water in so much trouble?💩

📣We can tell you (with thanks to @bigissue.com)

Thames Water wants permission to pollute Britain's rivers until 2040. No, seriously
Thames Water – Britain's largest water utility – has asked the industry regulator to exempt it from some pollution requirements.

Leading a political party means leading the political conversation - being available and being heard on the platforms people actually use.

Join me every Wednesday on my new podcast: Bold Politics.

The only podcast led by a current party leader in the UK. Link in bio.

Sublime figs from the garden. The south of England is the new Mediterranean. Things in the actual Mediterranean are dire.

We're 300 followers away from 70,000. 300 more would be really nice. But you know what would be even better? 300 plus 30,000.

Lara, speaking from Brazil, has had no contact with her husband, Thiago Ávila, since he was abducted and detained illegally by Israeli forces from the 'Madleen'.

Since then, @thiagoavilabrasil.bsky.social has been placed in solitary confinement, denied communication with his family.

Great to read this news! 👇🏽
10 tern chicks have hatched on rafts installed by volunteers at Hinksey Lake. We reported on the installation of the rafts, by kayak, month ago 👇

The Government's own spending watchdog says wealthy individuals in Britain might be avoiding even more tax than thought.

Is anyone surprised?

Instead of removing support for pensioners and disabled people, it's time for Labour to tax the super rich fairly.

Today is Equal Pay Day, when women effectively stop being paid compared to their male colleagues.

We would require all large and medium-size companies to carry out equal pay audits and redress any inequality uncovered.

Equal pay for equal work should not be too much to ask.
